The hierarchy of pull

I'm on my high horse at the moment. After spending more than three years trying to get the hang of the Internet, I suddenly realise, that, I knew more about it in the beginning than I do now. How odd and how dreadfully strange? It boils down to one thing. Especially in today's day and age and just what might that be? Why, it's non other than the 'hierarchy of pull'. Essentially this means that one cannot be a free thinker, but, must follow the crowd. So whatever you do, do not go with your true feelings which might be at odds with this. No Sir, that is asking for trouble. Instead, follow the celebrities, the rich and the famous, at all costs. This instantly assures you of being one of the 'in' crowd. So write about this including the Dahlia Lama (whom you wouldn't recognise if you bumped into him in the street), but who is to know this? That is just one example of an almost endless list.

If that doesn't work try art. Now here is a sure fire best seller. Look at my colouring pages (of course they aren't yours), but, here is the link to (some best selling colouring page). If that fails try, you can't lose here (sighs), babies. You see you have to have what people are searching for (mores the pity), and only this can assure you of a sale?

However, if you happen to write stories about things which made a major influence on your life, or about ordinary people who did extraordinary things, against all odds. Why, nobody is interested? Aren't they? That is the $64000 question? Here is a quick personal example of one of mine, A brave young boy.

Well I sure am glad to have got that of my chest and it is a personal sore point with me. Moreover, this is my first ever blog post here and I'm not sure of what I'm doing, but, I'm trying. On my other blogs, not even two men and a dog visited and even the dog never stayed. Will it be any different here?
